What do you expect a band called The Moe Greene Specials to sound like when you know they’re from Belgium and have some serious songwriting chops? Well, probably not like Calexico. Yet that’s exactly what you get to hear on “Open Road (Again)”. Any moment you expect a tumbleweed to drift by or some outlaw to gun you down before you even had the chance to down your tequila. I could list a whole bunch of other clichés here but suffice to say that “Open Road (Again)’” – and especially the instrumental tracks – would make an excellent soundtrack to a spaghettiwestern. That’s not to say that the other songs aren’t worth listening to. Trust me, they are!
Score: 8 out of 10
